Recursive Reality
Fall 2020
Taught By: Kyle Li
Section: A
CRN: 9670
Credits: 3
Virtual reality (VR) is currently enjoying a renaissance in public interest and technology. In this class, we will prototype novel VR experiences and installations with state-of-the-art hardware, while considering usability design and VR sickness mitigation. But underneath the formal interface questions lie the more aesthetic ones: what does it mean to craft a reality that routinely makes its inhabitants physically sick? Can we resist weaponizing this reality? How do we situate VR in relation to "real reality" -- as lamp, as mirror, or as recursive wormhole feeding back into itself? Basic instruction in code and 3D tools will facilitate our research.
